[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP. Try not to stress about your first grader not reading yet. There is a huge range of development, and some kids just don't pick up reading until well after second grade has started. It didn't click with my son until the second half of second grade -- but when it did, he started reading volumes. He's a voracious reader now, and selected honors English and history in middle school because he wanted a larger reading workload. While he also ended up doing well in math and science, he chose NOT to do honors in those because they are not where his interests lie. Go with the flow. Encourage, bit don't push.[/quote] Yeah, this. My dh, DD and I are voracious readers. My second grade son just has no interest. No learning disabilities or anything we can see so we let him be. Really, what are the options? He'll read (or not) when he wants to. [/quote]
